The Boothby Graffoe Three Minute Interview

Comic Boothby Graffoe doesn’t do drugs and is probably retiring from Stand Up. Or not. Martin Walker caught up with him for a Three Minute Interview.

Ed throws away more brilliant lines in an evening than most comics write in their lifetime.

Tell us about
your current show.

Scratch. A
typically Graffoesque look at the weird world of the lottery (it says here)
Essentially I do scratch cards. No one wins. You’ve seen it, haven’t you? You
tell them.

You’re
celebrating the music of Nick Pynn in Brighton – tell us about that.

Stewart Lee,
Kevin Eldon, Kate Daisy Grant, Mike Heron of the Incredible String Band. An
evening of people paying homage to Nick. I’d probably go even if I wasn’t on.

You supported
the ‘Barenaked Ladies’ on tour. How did that come about?

Four or five
times around Britain and Ireland. Once around America and Canada and three
times on a big boat cruising around the Gulf of Mexico. Ha. I like to remind
myself. I have no idea how I got the gigs. Aside from being excellent musicians
they are very, very funny. Ed throws away more brilliant lines in an evening
than most comics write in their lifetime.

Is it true you
once announced that you were retiring from Stand Up Comedy?

Yeah, probably. It’s
hard to tell. I took a lot of drugs in the early 80s, and the late 80s, all of
the 90s and most of whatever came after. And about 20 minutes ago. What year is
it now? I’m joking of course. I never take drugs. Anyone who says I do most
likely thinks I owe them money.

If you were
curating a stand up show for television, who would be your guests?
